Stemming from the Arizonian wastelands comes Lago with their take on 1990′s death metal. Guitarist/vocalist Cole sent me his demo after I had requested it.

Fuck!!!! Unlike the incredible Ravenmoon Sanctuary and Blodtru this one is not even available yet and it’s tied with RS for absolute MUST have purchasing.
